The thing that gets me is that Blu just avoids the posts that poke major holes in his flawed argument. Then once the next post shows up, just posts then and asks for "proving him incorrect..." if you read, you would already have that proof

That is such crap. Show me what you have to justify thinking the Colts will win six games this year as the post I responded to claimed. How about one expert? How about one poll? You have shown no proof that the Colts have enough talent to win six games this year and not even close to it. I think you are the troll here, not me.......

Re: Luck hits field to rave reviews

That system did not get us the best regular system record, Peyton did. In spite of Dungy and the entire system.

Dungy's system was a winner in Tampa before he came here. Chucky won a superbowl playing with Dungy's players and Dungy's system. Peyton was a big part of it but they didn't start winning until Dungy came here. Do you remember "Playoffs? You are talking about playoffs?"......

Re: Luck hits field to rave reviews

Do you think I am a troll? Why don't you get off of your duff and do something about the people calling names left and right here. I don't do that no matter how idiotic the post I am commenting on really is. I don't appreciate being called Bball by you either. I am right in saying the Colts will not win six games this year and I am right that they rate to be the worst team in the NFL. I don't care if you or your little group of cheerleaders agree with that or not. I have read dozens of polls and expert opinions that agree with me but I haven't seen one that thinks the Colts will win six game.......

Re: Luck hits field to rave reviews

Nobody knows what this team will do yet, Blu, that's the entire flaw in your thinking. You're guessing, and with conviction. The managment is all new. The coaches, all new. The players, almost all new. We can sit here and speculate all summer long, but the reality of things is we don't know if this team will go 1-15 or 15-1. A 5-win season is just as realistic as a 1-win or 12-win season.

But the sad part for me is that you've just given up on 'em. You have resigned yourself to the fact that we are going to be awful. Is it possible that we'll be awful? Sure. And if we are, are you going to root for them less? They are your team after all, right? They've just given you over a decade of excellence, so is it really that bad for you as a fan? Does it suck so much that we have the best young QB prospect in years? Will a season or two of mediocrity prove that you are really just another fairweather fan?

I hope not. And I hope you actually have a response for all this, instead of not responding whenever someone makes good counter-points to your arguments.

Why not just sit back and see what happens, instead of peeing in everyone's cheerios anytime something positive is posted about our favorite team. Heaven-forbid a fan has a positive outlook.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

What counter-point? I can post, if you like, a host of expert opinions and polls that say the Colts will be the worst team in the NFL this year. Could they be wrong? Sure. What are the odds? I would give it about one in ten thousand that they do better than the expert predict. You don't make counterpoints just by saying something. Show me something to back that up. Show me a poll or an expert that says they may win that many games. The team has been completely torn down and it will take YEARS for them to get competitive again if all of these moves work. Look at all the teams that are never competitive or have not been for ten to twenty years...... It is not as easy to build a winner as some pseudo-experts here claim... They all point to the 49ers. The 49ers were one hell of a lot better team when Harbaugh inherited them than the Colts are now or will be for years. This is not being negative, this is being realistic. Rebuilds take time and the coaching staff that starts a rebuild is usually history by the time they do start winning......

Did your so called experts think the pacers would have the 5th best record in the NBA? did these experts think that dallas wouldn't win 1 playoff game after their championship? ITS ALL SPECULATION!! Experts are wrong ALL the time. My favorite picture of all time proves my point that u can't judge something b4 u know what they are capable are... here ya go

That's not what I commented on. If you would read you would understand that, at your age that shouldnt be the issue.

Re: Luck hits field to rave reviews

Dude, chill, I think Hicks was joking around.

_____________________

Interesting to see things from a Colts POV. I am watching Luck closely, as I am sure most Colts fans are watching RG3 closely. Kind of annoying, but I am going to really enjoy tracking both of them throughout their respective careers.

Well, that is the only thing I have commented on in this post. I wasn't talking about Luck. I was talking about the whole team..... So you try to read and at your age, you could use a little help.....

Yes but your views are well documented and unfounded...once again, anyone points out your wrong the post doesn't exist does it? That is the definition of troll...it's a fact. If you want to not be, start noticing the flaws in your argument. Being a longtime moderator of a forum, I know exactly what to look for.

Unfounded? Show me one expert opinion or poll that indicates the Colts will not be the worst team in the NFL this year. I can produce a dozen that do say that and I have posted some of them. What does Peter King say? You are the one who makes unfounded posts, not me..... I can find people who agree with my comments on sports pages all over the country. How about you, little boy? My post that started all of this was in this thread was in response to someone saying the Colts will win six games. Show me one, just one, article by an expert or poll that says the Colts will be anything close to that. You are the troll here, son, not me..... Don't you think Hicks would have banned me if he thought I was a troll... I am tired of you calling me names, squirt.... I know I could do it better but I don't do that kind of thing....... anymore... If you don't like my posts ignore them or take it up with Hicks..

If you were paying attention you would notice that's not what I am talking about oldblu...I am not "insulting you" I am calling it the way it is. I am going to actually act mature and not return the favor...

"But, first, let us now praise famous moments, because something happened Tuesday night in Indianapolis that you can watch a lifetime’s worth of professional basketball and never see again. There was a brief, and very decisive, and altogether unprecedented, outburst of genuine officiating, and it was directed at the best player in the world, and that, my dear young person, simply is not done."
